And that's what I've been arguing all along. You have a list of things that determine what makes a lineman play well. Number one priority on that list is not weight unless having more weight is the reason why he plays so well (or conversely, he plays poorly).

My point is that being bigger is not necessarily better. I'm sorry to be so argumentative about stuff like this, but any kind of hype really bothers me.

I just hate all the hype that people pay attention to and neglect all of the other more important things.
